Wow nearly everything is going up! Gotta pay for those LTN's I guess? I'm lucky as I paid my years annual parking at the end of March so I missed the April 15th increase.

Interesting that one of the charges that hasn't increased are the section 50 street works, non utility fees.

Well Doodle, like most councils why plug the leak in the bottom of the bucket when you can just turn the tap on a bit more!!

Thanks for the heads-up - time to stock up on some visitor's permits.

Blimey, you weren't kidding. Went to renew today for 6 months and it's gone up to £135.00!! Last two times I've renewed it was £98 in Apr'23, then £107 in Nov'23, now £135.

I wonder if they even bother trying to justify a 30% increase, I even thought it must be a mistake.

It's just like anything else in UK where you have zero choice but to pay...service stations, airports, they don't even dress-up a lame excuse for charging that much they just do it and you have no recourse whatsoever.
